Drawing find!
Posted by Don Stauffer on Tuesday, May 13, 2014 9:21 AM

At a recent model club meeting a friend sitting in front of me was looking through an old IPMS Journal, reading an article about a scratchbuilt HMS Inflexible (the 1881 version).  The article included centerfold plans!  I asked my friend to scan and make a copy of the drawings for me, and last night he gave me a copy of whole article including the centerfold drawing. I have long wanted to model that ship, so this is a good start to such a project.  The drawing does not have much in the way of hull lines, but I can probably make an educated guess at the shape, or else do it as a waterline build.  To me this is a very interesting era in the evolution of the large warship!

16" muzzle loading main guns, 4 feet of armoured plate and teak plus torpedoes. The royal navy really wanted to flex their muscle against the Italians.

Yep, that is the one!  The article copy does not list the issue that it is from.

That's a good find. I've always wanted a model of either the Dulio or the Dandolo.

 Modeling is an excuse to buy books.
